Great Happy Father’s Day

This is what Father’s Day is all about. This is our grand daughter, laughing with Nana, while playing with Daniel Le Blanc, the stuffed lobster, named after a lobster fisherman from Canada who sent 6 lobsters back with Molly for our feast! We’re having a wonderful time after an interesting day.

Great start, my son came down to stay over last night and went to 8:45 Mass at Sacred Heart, Feast of the Blessed Trinity, celebrated by Father Thienan Tran. Fr. Tran is on his way to Alabama for military training with the United State Air Force before deploying overseas. We saw a ton of great folks outside of Mass, looked like the entire Davis Clan was there for a Memorial Mass for Bill and Billy Davis. Great turnout for Mass, Church was filled with families celebrating Father’s Day and we ended Mass with a Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

We went to The Other Company for waffles, chocolate ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream! Hit it just right before the crowd got there and got a table. After a great breakfast we headed off to St. Agnes Cemetery to visit father, grandfather and great grandfather’s graves and say a Hail Mary for Father’s Day..

Visited Lowe’s to get some gardening supplies and my son-in-law’s Father’s Day gift, a retractable hose reel that winds the hose up using water pressure. It’s like magic. Ran over my daughter and son-in-laws house to see the baby and install the gift hours earlier than we were scheduled to arrive for a feast.

Then back to chopping the roots of the stump. Great work out and I didn’t chop off any appendages (I know some of you were rooting for that…..).

Saw step daughter and youngest step son yesterday at Dunkin Donuts in Springfield, while dropping off one for their trip to their dads. Got facebook messages from oldest step son. Great day. I even got a happy Father’s Day text from one of my former guys at DPW.

I got and early start and began the process of removing a big ole stump from the front yard. Bit by bit, dig, chop, dig some more. Got about 12 major roots chopped through in a couple of hours. It looks like about 10 more to go…fun, fun, fun.

Red wheelbarrow handle by one of 12 larger roots that need the axe. The smaller one at 11:00 sliced like butter for the pickaxe spade blade. Naturally the job is going to take longer than I’d hoped.

Picked up daughter #2 at the Albany INTERNATIONAL Airport as she flew back from Digby County in the Maritimes of Canada scouting a film location. She surprised us with six (6) live lobsters from Nova Scotia. What a father’s day feast. Two of the lobsters are in a picture above. What a wonderful day. I hope you all had a great Father’s Day.

God bless all here.

Never mind this nonsense. What are you doing about the Sheriff’s Department. Specifically, the purchase of the five forty thousand dollar vehicles purchased with taxpayer money. The public needs to know the details. This is your job and you owe it to the taxpayer.
